Hesitate on these things. Don't automatically assume. Maybe
the responding officers have not yet had time to file their written
reports. Maybe Joel is trying with limited info to respond to a
public concern. Speculation at this point doesn't serve anyone. Facts
will eventually come out. Then we can decide.

I find the language attributed to Joel DeSpain interesting: "the
bicyclist collided with a small SUV" even though "she did not see
the bicyclist until he was right in front of her". There isn't much
detail to go on, but it seems significant that the bicyclist is
attributed with the collision even though it sounds like he was
struck by the MV. This doesn't mean the MV driver is at fault, but
it's an odd nuance that seems to cast the responsibility on the
cyclist. It's also notable that the 'bicyclist' (person) collided
with the SUV (object), further removing the MV driver from the equation.
It's another terrible loss.

This just happened this morning. From reading the report and trying
to parse out what might have happened, it seems that someone may
have run a light or there could have been some sidewalk riding. It
is hard to tell what happened from the limited information in the
article. It would be good to see a crash report.
Either way, this really sucks.
